I have been Mel's client for a while and am so glad I found her. I have had many massages over the…read moreyears and I'd rate her as good or better than the massage I've had at five star luxury hotel spas like The Four Seasons, but they charge $300! Her massage is so good my wife and myself have standing appointments every 2 weeks to make sure we can get our fix! I get a relaxing massage that knocks me out and my wife more of a corrective massage. I think the massage is so good because her technique is very unique, she told me it's called "Mel-ssage" lol! Mel has a mobile massage and a nice office in one of the RSD medical buildings on Lake Otis. Mel is friendly and demeanor is great, if you're looking for a great professional massage I recommend you treat yourself!

I'm not someone who typically writes negative reviews -- I usually only leave positive ones -- but…read moreI feel this needs to be shared so others don't go through the same experience. I first contacted Affordable Massage Therapy (Tammy) on December 11 and over the next several weeks had multiple appointments scheduled, confirmed, and then canceled by her. Appointments were changed, rescheduled, or canceled at short notice due to scheduling mistakes, family emergencies, and illness. At one point, she stated she deletes all text messages, which made it difficult to keep any continuity in scheduling. In total, my appointment was canceled three separate times by the provider, including once just hours before a scheduled session. During this process, her rates also increased significantly compared to when I originally booked. After the last cancellation, I looked more closely at her reviews and noticed a consistent pattern in the one-star google reviews describing the same issues -- frequent cancellations and lack of reliability. While she does have positive reviews, it seems those experiences depend heavily on actually being able to keep an appointment. If reliability and respect for your time are important to you, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. For what it's worth, when my appointment was canceled yet again, I was able to book last-minute with Chris at Root Massage, who provided the best massage I've had in Anchorage. The difference in professionalism and consistency was night and day.

I would give a less than 1 if I could. I called Tammy and…read morethen she texted me she could fit me in next day. First said 2:40p, we started to set up the time. Then turns out she meant 1:40p. I couldn't do 1:40p so she suggests 4:15pm. I agree, she sends all the details. I showed up 10 minutes early as requested and go in. There is a lady who runs the massage space but no Tammy. She says Tammy just went in with a customer, during my scheduled time. I texted Tammy to ask what's up. She doesn't even apologize at first, just says "I meant 5:45p". I sent her screenshots of the messages she sent me and ask if she will give me a discount since I had to drive over and potentially have to come back later. She doesnt offer one and then just says she is booked up. I have no idea of her massage quality but I can tell you to expect your appointment to move multiple times and for Tammy not to really care. Also I just want to say that I am experiencing pretty extensive pain. And mistakes happen. But If you work in an industry that provides relief to people, it might be worth it to invest in some scheduling tools because you will have clients continuing to live in pain when you can't live up to your business responsibilities. All in all -10 stars, do not visit.

Elite was a life saver! This place was recommended to me by a massage therapist. Called when they…read morefirst opened to see if there were same day appt and there was! Place is clean and simple/peaceful. It looks like there's chair massage up front. They offer couples massage also. I was led to a room to undress and lay face down. The therapist asked if I liked medium or hard pressure so I told her my preference. She did a great job with where I need it to be hard vs medium. Warning - at some point the therapist is likely to get on the bed to grab the bars on the ceiling to massage you with their leg/feet! This isn't unheard of in Asian massages but more novel for Western massage. Barefoot massage has broken that barrier for Alaska I think - and let me tell you it feels good, especially if you need that additional pressure. Surprisingly, only minor soreness after given the pressure she used. They take credit card too!

I'm giving this company a one-star review because of their poor customer service - not the massage…read more(we never got that far). I bought my husband a birthday present for a 60-minute massage. He was late to his appointment exactly 15 minutes (he works in Wasilla and was driving from there). We both attempted to call starting at 5:30p to let the therapist know he was on his way. When he showed up, the lights and door were shut. I received an email that was very condescending and humiliating pretty much insinuating that we looked like "scammers" (yes, she called me that). Never once did anyone call us - not one single phone call. And on the day we were late, the therapist never called or checked messages. Just left and charged us the full amount. I am appalled at the way they handled this. This isn't about the money. This is about making a new client feel down right humiliated. I'm still in shock at how rude they were in their email and the fact that they never responded back to me. Shame on you for treating a new client like this.

This hands down was the best massage I have ever received!…read more Tammy and Travis are truly a pair that vibe well with each other (stay with me here). For me it's important to have a feel of cohesiveness, trust, & comfort; especially when dealing with the vulnerability that you have to kind of surrender during a massage. My husband and I had a couples massage that was purchased off of Groupon. He was paired with Tammy and I Travis. Travis hit areas that I had no clue I had pain in. You can tell he really listens to your body's reactions in response to his manipulations. He worked a lot with pressure point release while still maintaining a fluidity of movement. Whereas me being a (what my husband and family calls me) modern day hippie my husband he is NOT he likes to forget the science and "hoopla" behind it and just wants a sound relaxing, put to sleep massage. That was expectation was not only hit but surpassed by Tammy's gentle touch. When talking with them you can tell they both have a genuine respect of the body. They both understand the "how" along with "what" it needs to heal. But wait it gets better! On top of that they understand the financial strain that massages can carry so they like to throw in little perks here and there to help "build up" your massage. I'm just saying. I love supporting small businesses and even more I love supporting a business that truly cares about their customers!
